Man Utd and Newcastle target set to have release clause doubled ahead of transfer race

Manchester United and Newcastle are among a host of Premier League clubs looking at Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.

The 20-year-old’s contract with the LaLiga outfit runs until 2026 but talks between his agent, Pini Zahavi, and the club over an extension which contains a bigger buyout clause have taken place. Currently, that clause stands at around £35million but Celta want to double it.

Zahavi is understood to be in contact with several Premier League clubs about the player, with United having watched him four times since January and Newcastle scouts keeping tabs on him last week. There is also interest in the Spain Under-21 international from teams in Germany’s Bundesliga. Celta sources say there have been no official bids for the player but the club is aware of the interest in him.
